The location was absolutely perfect! Communication with the host was great. They responded to me very quickly when I had a couple questions. Parking was very easy to find. The room was very clean and comfortable. It fit my family of 4 perfectly. We loved having direct access to the beach as well as beach supplies provided (ex. beach chairs, sand toys for kids, surfboards). Overall, everything was great! I would definitely stay here again.
Excellent space well equipped kitchenette a real plus! Dog friendly a real plus! Beautiful beach front. Great bbq grill and fire pit. Well equipped. Chairs umbrellas surfboards boogie boards awesome place.

Easy check in, great location already booked for next year!
What a charming property and location. Easy access to beach and downtown. We loved our stay and can't wait to go back. Beautiful ocean and pier views from our 3rd floor room. Fun patio to watch people and cars cruise the Strand. Also pet friendly!
Very updated room with a kitchenette, 2 person table, and a comfy bed. Loved having a garage for our car. Also loved the shared patio space and the use of beach chairs and umbrellas. Perfect location to walk to anyplace.
Great location for ocean views. Very close to the beach and pier. Could hear the waves from our room. Had to walk (or drive) a block or so up for store and restaurants. The unit had everything we needed, with the exception of pots & pans. If you are on the 2 or 3 floors, there is an outside staircase. Just be aware in case you have any mobility issues. They had good communication. Would stay again
great location, great apartment. It does have garage parking, but the garage is narrow and has a manual garage door, so be careful puing in/out and opening /closing the garage door..

Loved our stay at The Marbella. Will definitely be back again. Right by the water and walkable to excellent dining options.
Absolutely love this property. This is my second time booking also I have it booked during the summer. I have two teenage daughters and we’ve made so many amazing memories on this property great location. I can’t wait to be back in summer.
Very clean, loved the modern decor & amenities & you are right on the beach! Slept with window open so we could hear the ocean waves. Only downside to being right on the beach is there is early morning noise, trash trucks & people although if we had the windows closed the noise would have been more muffled. Wonderful deck to sit, have a drink & watch the waves, we saw a pod of dolphins while we were the at the end of April. They have beach chairs, boogey & surfboards, even sand buckets & toys for the kids hotel guests can use. Wonderful hotel will definitely stay there again.
